Details are murky and no final agreement has been reached, but the plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libyan leadership.

In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.

    As I recall, it was important to punish the Biden administration for their role in assisting Israel.

    As it turns out, there are severe consequences to ignoring absolutely every warning that Trump would be worse.

      With regards to Israel / Palestine, watching this unfold under Biden reminded me of the scene in Saving Private Ryan where the one soldier was going “shhh” while pushing a knife into the other soldier. And someone else watching but not doing anything about it.

      Remember that Biden flat out lied to the American public. He will be remembered for his complicity in genocide, and there is absolutely nothing he can do to prevent this legacy. History is written by the victors, but younger generations get the last word.

      Trump is certainly worse for Americans, and I voted with this in mind, but both sides are fucking awful for Palestinians. Lest we forget Chuck “my job is to keep the left pro-genocide” Schumer.

      As I recall, genocide was so important to centrists that they were willing to lose democracy for it.

      Voted for harris. Will never stop hating myself for voting to enable genocide.

      Centrists are just mad that their only policy is being enacted by their second favorite candidate.

        If genocide is all “centrists” care about then they would be fucking ecstatic over Trump’s policy not mad.

      Although not voting was the wrong move, It’s important to hold the democrats accountable imo. They essentially lost the election because they considered genocide more important then their consituents.

      The fact is that Gazas fate would have been the same under both party. The way forward is to demand change from the democratic party to avoid such scenarios. Blaming voters implies it wasnt the democrats at fault in the first place for pushing apathy and genocide as their main platform. Even worse, it implies genocide somehow shouldnt be a voting issue.

        The hell it would have. To say that the fate of Gaza would have been the same is absolute horseshit.

        Democrats lost the election because a bunch of shitheel Muricans decided to stay home.

        It’s our fault and fuck y’all for trying to blame Democrats for not inspiring people to protect marginalized groups.

        Dems suck but so does the general population that refuses to take any responsibility for their part in making this happen.

        If you need a god damn politician to inspire you to think beyond yourself, you fuckin suck and are trash.

        Over it.

    Well, at least the Palestinians living in Michigan now know where the administration is going to send them.
